Chapter 13: SDOPM: Chapter 13
"Don't panic, everyone! Just two monsters! With me, Stinger, here, everything will be fine!"
A muscular man in athletic wear, holding a spear, stepped forward, confident in facing the monsters.
"What?! Stinger! I've heard of him!"
"Me too! I can't believe he's in Z-City! I heard he killed three monsters in Y-City with his spear!"
"Nonsense, it was six! My great-aunt's second cousin's third nephew's neighbor's cousin's brother-in-law was in Y-City; he saw it himself!"
"Yay! Stinger, we're counting on you!"
"Stinger, I love you!"
The crowd cheered enthusiastically. Stinger basked in the attention.
"Don't be afraid, little bunny. I won't let the monsters hurt you! After I defeat them, how about a drink?"
Stinger offered a charming smile, flirting with the bunny girl in front of everyone.
"If you defeat them, I… I will."
The bunny girl nodded repeatedly. She'd do anything as long as these monsters were dealt with quickly.
"Deal!"
Stinger winked, then turned to the monsters.
"Today, you'll die by the hand of Stinger…"
Bang!
Before he could finish, Hawk-Beak sent him flying with a wing blow. He tumbled through the air, crashing into a nearby trash can.
"So much chatter. Annoying."
Hawk-Beak hadn't even glanced at Stinger.
"Stinger is defeated?!"
"What?! Stinger is strong! How was he defeated so easily?!"
"Even Stinger lost! What do we do?!"
"Run!"
"Help!"
The onlookers, seeing Stinger's swift defeat, panicked and tried to flee. Then, a muscular man in boxing attire stepped forward.
"Tch, I was expecting more. Just a brainless guy."
"Iron Fist Harris!?"
"We're saved! It's Iron Fist Harris!"
"Great! Iron Fist Harris is here! Are so many strong people here because of the Hero Association? We're so lucky!"
"Iron Fist Harris, go get 'em!"
"Iron Fist Harris, defeat the monsters!"
The crowd cheered for Iron Fist Harris.
"Haha, I'm best suited for the spotlight!"
Feeling the attention, Iron Fist Harris basked in the adoration, spreading his arms.
"Don't worry, I'll handle these monsters! I'll protect you all with my iron fists!"
"Yay! Harris, you're the best!"
"Harris, go get 'em!"
"Harris!"
The crowd erupted in cheers.
"You two, come at me…"
Iron Fist Harris beckoned to Mantis and Hawk-Beak. This was his moment to shine!
But the next second…
Mantis vanished. The crowd saw a blur; before they knew it, Iron Fist Harris's chest was ripped open, blood gushing out.
Instant kill! Another instant kill! Iron Fist Harris fell to Mantis's attack!
The crowd despaired. Even these well-known heroes were no match for the monsters. Who could save them?!
[Ding… Mantis and Hawk-Beak from the House of Evolution are preparing to capture you. Your choice is?]
[1: Fight! Real men never retreat! (Reward: Strength Enhancement Agent +7)]
[2: Hide and wait. Develop your strength and get revenge later! (Reward: Constitution Enhancement Agent +6)]
[3: Flee Z-City! Run as far as you can! (Reward: Speed Enhancement Agent +8)]
[Your choice?]
No way. He wouldn't miss this opportunity!
"One!"
Kaito Ren couldn't wait.
"Come on, let's see how strong you are!"
Kaito Ren beckoned to Mantis and Hawk-Beak.
"Look! Someone else stepped up!"
"Who is it?! Another strong hero!?"
"He looks familiar, but I can't remember his name?!"
"It's him?! The guy who got humiliated earlier?!"
"What is this weakling doing?! Is he suicidal?!"
"Damn it! Why provoke the monsters?!"
"What do we do? The monsters are looking at us! We can't escape!"
The onlookers were furious at Kaito Ren. They could have escaped, but now the monsters were focused on him. They could only pray the monsters would leave after dealing with him.
"Found him!"
Mantis turned to Kaito Ren, checking the photo. He was their target.
"Let's hurry. The longer we stay, the more likely we are to attract stronger opponents. It'll be harder to escape then!"
Hawk-Beak, using his keen observation skills, remained vigilant.
"Alright! Leave it to me!"
Mantis stepped forward.
"Kid, cooperate, or you'll end up like…"
Before Mantis could finish, Kaito Ren attacked.
"Chirp chirp, you're overestimating yourself! A human dares to fight me?! I'll show you…"
Mantis scoffed, but the next second, Kaito Ren's fist loomed large in its eyes.
